Running as a Service

The install script automatically registers Wipekit as a systemd service. This means the panel starts automatically on every server reboot and restarts itself if it crashes - no manual action needed.

Managing the service

# Start the panel
sudo systemctl start wipekit

# Stop the panel
sudo systemctl stop wipekit

# Restart the panel
sudo systemctl restart wipekit

# Check if it's running
sudo systemctl status wipekit

Viewing logs

Logs are written to the system journal. Use journalctl to read them:

# Follow live logs
journalctl -u wipekit -f

# Last 100 lines
journalctl -u wipekit -n 100

Disable autostart

If you want to start the panel manually instead of on every boot:

sudo systemctl disable wipekit
